Some words in Chinese are pronounced softly. How to distinguish them?

Light tone refers to some syllables in the words and sentences of Putonghua. Due to the influence of the front and back syllables, the original tone is lost, thus becoming a soft light tone. For example: Baba, Dim M4Nxin, etc. The tone of the second syllable in these words becomes soft and fuzzy in actual pronunciation, which belongs to light tone.

Light tone has the function of distinguishing part of speech and meaning in Putonghua, such as: brother (xi non-ng brother) refers to younger brother; Brothers (xi is not xi not xiōng dì) means "two brothers". Lì hai means "serious" and "profound" and is an adjective or adverb, such as "it hurts badly"; Interest (Lü hà i hà i) refers to interest or damage, which is a noun, such as "you should understand the interest in this matter".

Light tone is a sound change phenomenon caused by the weakening of syllable pronunciation, which can be regarded as a special tone sandhi, not an independent tone category. However, in addition to obvious changes in tone value and shortened tone length, the tone intensity of light tone syllables is also weakened, which often leads to some changes in timbre, such as vague pronunciation of vowels, the tongue position of main vowels moving to the tongue surface, center and middle direction, unventilated voiceless voiceless voiceless, voiceless voiceless voiceless voiceless voiceless consonants, etc. For example, the word "gē ge" is pronounced softly in the second syllable, and its initial is changed from voiced to corresponding voiced, and vowels are changed from vowels on the tongue surface, back, half height and non-round lips to vowels on the tongue surface, middle, middle and round lips.

Generally speaking, the tone read after flat, rising and falling tone is lower than the previous syllable, and its tone value can be roughly described as short and low falling tone; The soft tone after the upper tone is higher than the previous syllable, and its tone value can be roughly described as short and half Gao Pingtiao. It should be noted that the phenomenon of "eating words" and "swallowing words" cannot occur in order to make a soft sound. For example:

A flat voice+a soft voice.

Arm disabled gourd starling crosstalk Mr. malaria underground

Up+down

Dress up, buy and sell speakers, pillows, dumb sisters and tongues.

1. Most syllables with light tones are related to their grammatical meanings and vocabulary, such as the modal particle "Ah, Ba, You, Ma", nouns and pronoun suffixes "Zi, Er, Tou, De, Men" and locative words "Shang, Xia, Li, Tou, Bian, Mian". The verb is followed by a word indicating the trend.

For nouns with (1) or overlapping sounds, most of the syllables at the end are pronounced softly. For example:

Mom, dad, mother-in-law, grandparents, aunts, uncles and aunts.

Sister, brother, brother, sister, doll, wife, queen, grandfather, star.

Uncle orangutan

(2) Nouns with suffixes "zi" and "tou" are usually pronounced softly, and most of them are also pronounced softly. For example:

Zi, Lao Zi, temple, table, stool, chair, basin, plate, thin man

Shovel stove nose boy pants devil grandson rabbit swallow

Beard, peach, plum, tune, house, shoes, socks, yard

Fat collar, pier, hope, steamed bread, tongue, profit, signs of waves

I want taro, I want taro, I want wood, I want limelight, I want sweetness, I want stones.

(3) In personal pronouns or noun words with the suffix "men", "men" is pronounced softly. For example:

Guests, ladies, ancestors, friends, people, them, us

Journalists and gentlemen, future generations, peers, children, you and us.

Police, officials, businessmen, workers, farmers, they

(4) The suffixes of words or morphemes with the suffix "Shang, Xia and Li" only indicate the orientation meaning, and generally read softly. For example:

On the road, there are platforms on the kang in the morning and evening.

On the surface, walls, seats, trees, classrooms, feet, downstairs and cars.

In the basement, in my heart, in the factory at night, at home.

(5) The suffix of compound words with "head, face and edge" is generally pronounced as light tone. For example:

Front, back, outside, head, head, back and inside.

Front, back, inside, outside and side.

Outside, left, west, north, front, right, south and inside.

Back to the east

(6) The modal particle "Yao, you, ba, la", the dynamic particle "zhe, le, guo" and the structural particle "de, di, de" are all softly spoken. For example:

Let's leave now. Okay？ What about you? Where is it? After reading it, it is used for walking.

Does it hurt? Let's leave now. How is she? It's hard! I was passing by thinking about food.

Is it bitter? Do you want it? What about me? Finished eating! Eat, drink and dress happily.

Look at that beautiful girl who is sleepy to death.

(7) When the directional verb attached to the head word is used as a complement, it is pronounced softly. If you insert "no, de" between the head word and the directional verb, the word "no, de" will read softly, and the directional verb will generally change its original tone. For example:

Get up and have a look. Take it out and say it.

If you can't get up, you can't see it. Take it out if you can't say it.

Can't take it out, can't respect it, can see it, can say it.

(8) When overlapping verbs are used together, the overlapping syllables are read softly; If "one, no" is inserted in the middle of overlapping verbs, "one, no" is pronounced softly, and overlapping syllables are pronounced in the original sound. For example:

Go for a walk, look, chat, eat, laugh and walk.

Take a walk, have a look, take a walk, talk, eat, laugh, laugh.

2. Some words, syllables that read softly can distinguish the meaning from the part of speech. If this syllable is pronounced in the original tone, its meaning will change. For example:

Lao zi l m: o zi/l m: oz ǐ Li Hai/Li Hai.
